On September 5th, Marco Alonso turned down a two-year contract with Manchester United. Alonso was not ready to make a loan move to Manchester United, and he intends to stay with Barcelona. Marco Alonso has played for Barcelona for a year now. He played 50 matches and scored three goals last season, but this season he hasn’t scored any goals.
Manchester United offered Marco Alonso a two-year contract to play left-back. Manchester United also pays way more than Barcelona and other teams as well. However, Barcelona has the upper hand in clashes against Manchester United. The Manchester United team had the most English top-flight titles. They currently hold 20 titles.
Alonso embarked on his football career with Real Madrid. He amplified his name with the Bolton Wanderers, then Fiorentina. Barcelona and Marco Alonso reached an agreement to sign after he terminated his contract with Chelsea Football Club. Marco Alonso is a player who shows diversity on the field. He played left back, center back, and left midfield for La Liga, Barcelona, and the Spain national team.
The Daily Mail says that the reason why Manchester United wants to sign Alonso is because “[Alonso] emerged as a potential candidate to fill the void left by Luke Shaw, who suffered a muscle injury that is expected to keep him out for a number of months.”
Many fans support Alonso’s decision to stay with the team. Ian Greco says, “Marco Alonso will continue to contribute to Barcelona, and they are lucky to have him.”
